A 65-year-old from Brigg has spoken fondly of his five decades in the same job - after starting his career in fitting at the age of 15.

Dave Oxley retired from his role at Peacock and Binnington after 50 years in the Brigg store.

He started his career at the agricultural machinery dealers in 1968 after getting an apprenticeship when he left school.

Dave has since worked across a variety of roles including fitting in tractors, combine harvesters and different types of machinery.

He said: "It's emotion leaving here after 50 years. It will be a strange feeling waking up in the morning and not coming into to work.

"It's been a great place to work and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

Throughout his career repairing and servicing machines in the workshop and out in the field, Dave has been heavily involved with Massey Ferguson tractors, combines and balers. There’s not much he doesn’t know about the machines that he has worked on for five decades.
